Hi, i will continue my series with a species, that we only found in one location: Drosera glabripes. The only time we found this plant was in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, where it grows in larger numbers directly beneath the way. For me, this is one of the most impressive and nicest species of...

I know poaching and directly selling the plants is considered taboo. But what if I want to use them for breeding? I don't know if you guys have heard of Barry Rice, but he's been in my area searching for carnivorous plants, specifically some drosera. This was some time ago. ANYWAYS, he said...

Over my past few years active on this board I have seen very little information on growing N. Northiana. While an incredibly beautiful, well-known species, it seems very few people, especially in the US cultivate this plant. If they do, I can't find them anywhere. :-D Last week I finally felt...

Years ago..maybe 7-10 years ago, the ICPS had an offer of Sarracenia rubra ssp. alabamensis plants..the goal was to get a lot of plants out in cultivation, as a means to help save the very endangered variety.. At that time, I received a Sarracenia rubra ssp. alabamensis AL-02 (ICPS Location...

So I recently found that my little adelaes weren't looking so hot...The older leaves were beginning to turn brown and wilt. Newer leaves stopped producing dew...and the even newer leaves just refused to open up. I realized the pots were getting too dry just sitting in sphagnum so I replaced that...

Does anybody who has a Spec x Vent recall the picthers it made when it was a youngling? Mine will color and splotch up like it's dad and I have some peristome variegation, but I can't get any of the red of the mother... Is this just a phase or do I just have a green variant of this hybrid? I'm...

Well according to wikipedia N. ampullaria is a vegetation eater: N. ampullaria has largely moved away from carnivory and acquires a substantial portion of its nutrients from digesting leaf matter that falls to the forest floor. It is thus partially detritivorous. The species has developed...

Hello. I'm fairly new to plant care in general, and the carnivorous plants i recently bought and planted in a long planter box are doing pretty well in my opinion (i.e. growing new traps/flowers), but i have a few main concerns... Let me first give some background info in case it helps: The...

Well here's a look at my latest vivarium project, You can see the snazzy new round aluminum vents from tarantulacages.com They sure look nicer than the randomly drilled holes on my first incarnation of the vertical 10 gallon. Here it is open for planting and access, the fronts hang...

I need to ask for some advice. There is a large, popular carnivorous plant nursery based in Australia that sells carnivorous plants (rooted, and having been grown in media for a while ) as well as tissue culture carnivorous plants (shipped directly in the tissue culture media). I wanted to...

Hey Guys, I am looking to get hold of some VFT seed that can be directly traced to the Brunswick County area of NC. Well anywhere in NC actually. I have a thing for carnivores that are actually from NC, and I'd really like to find something that's not just a TC plant, but that is still within...

About 9 days ago I had a bit of irritation in my right eye but thought nothing of it other than allergies. The next day I developed a bad headache and again didn’t really think much of it because I am prone to headaches. Next day, developed a debilitating headache that felt like some of the...

My mom is awesome. :> she went to Lowes to get some garden plants, and she said she had a surprise for me. She came back with a very healthy Darlingtonia. I was very astonished because I never thought I'd have one in my collection for a long time. I asked her if there were any other types and...
